HOUSE BEERS
HONEY CREAM ALE
ABV: 5%
IBU: 16.2
OG: 12.5 Plato
Hops: Willamette
Malts: Dingemans Pale, Marris Otter, Munich
Other things: Raw Orange Blossom Honey
Description: British American style hybrid cream ale. Belgian and British malts, floral hop aroma, dry crisp and refreshing. Intense Orange blossom honey aromatics.
Brewing Process-single infusion for more body, raw orange blossom honey in the whirlpool to retain all the aromatics of the raw orange blossom honey.
Fermentation – Our house ale strain is British in origin, highly flocculent, produces nice fruity esters and leaves enough residual sugar to enhance mouthfeel and body!
PILSNER
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: 33
OG: 12 Plato
Hops: Tettnang, Saaz
Malts: Weyerman Floor Malted Bavarian Pils
Other things: Double decoction, natural carbonation, horizontally tank-aged
Description: An authentic Czech pilsner, under modified Bavarian floor-malted Pilsner malt, double decocted, soft water, Saaz and Tettnang hops.
Brewing process: We perform a double decoction on this beer to impart a rich intense malty character. We hop it heavily throughout the boil and whirlpool with saaz and Tettnang hops. This imparts an intense floral and spicy hop presence throughout and a snappy crisp finish.
Fermentation: We ferment this beer cold and slow, it’s spunded during primary fermentation for natural carbonation and slowly aged near-freezing temps in horizontal lager tanks until fully mature! A true labor of love that takes at least six weeks!
HOPPY PILSNER
ABV: 4.8%
IBU: 40
OG: 12.5 Plato
Hops: Tettnang, Lemon Drop
Malts: Weyerman Floor Malted Bavarian Pils
Other things: Single Decoction, Natural carbonation, horizontal tank aged
Description: single decoction, rich and malty, crisp refreshing, dry. Intense hoppy lemony finish.
Brewing Process-we perform a single decoction on this beer to produce enough rich malt character to stand up to the immense charge of lemon drop hops we add in the whirlpool. With this blend of old school/new school technique we end up with an extremely balanced, extremely flavorful lager!
Fermentation: We ferment our lagers cold, and do a traditional long aging process in horizontal lagering tanks. We also bung our lagers during primary fermentation, this naturally carbonates our beer and creates finer bubbles and better foam!
PALE ALE
ABV: 4.6%
IBU: 55
OG: 12.5 Plato
Hops: Cryo-Mosaic, Cryo-Citra
Malts: Golden Promise, Caramalt
Description: British American style hybrid pale ale, all British malts. Juicy malty body. Intense tropical, piney, aromatic hop character. Clean refreshing finish.
Brewing Process-single infusion for more body, a massive charge of cryo hops in the whirlpool and dry hop only. With this technique, we get plenty of bitterness and still hit our target IBU range, but we also get massive amounts of flavors and aroma without astringent bitterness. This pale has an incredible balance at the same time hitting the extremes of malty and hoppy!
Fermentation-Our house ale strain is British in origin, high flocculent, and produces a beautifully bright beer with fruity esters that accentuate the hop and malt character in this ale.
EXTRA PALE ALE
ABV: 6.6%
IBU: 75
OG: 16.5 Plato
Hops: Cryo-Mosaic, Cryo-Citra
Malts: Golden Promise, Caramalt
Description: A ramped up full-strength version of our House Pale ale. We used all the same ingredients, except increased the malt and hop bill by 50% to achieve a fuller body, higher alcohol, and very intense hop character.
Brewing Process: Single infusion for more body. This pale receives a bittering charge of cryo-hops 15 min before the end of the boil, then a 50% greater charge in the whirlpool and dry hop!
Fermentation: This Beer was fermented with our house British ale strain.
IMPERIAL PALE ALE
ABV: 8.6%
IBU: 95
OG: 19.5 Plato
Hops: Cryo-Mosaic, Cryo-Citra
Malts: Golden Promise, Caramalt
Description: This is essentially a double version of our house pale ale. We used all the same ingredients except we doubled everything to create a big rich, intense, hoppy, but balanced Imperial pale ale.
Brewing Process: Single infusion at a lower temperature and no mash out to increase fermentability. This pale ale receives a higher bittering charge of cryo-hops 15 min before the end of the boil. Then we doubled the charge of hops in the whirlpool and dry hop!
Fermentation: This beer was fermented with our house strain but cooler to subdue esters and fusel alcohols, creating a smoother, cleaner finish considering its strength!
